It is a rare Sabbath-keeper and/or Feast-Keeper who has not had Colossians 2 thrown at them with the assertion that the feast days and weekly sabbath were “nailed to the cross”. This passage is rife with misunderstandings.
Who are the men in verses 4, 8, and 16? How does circumcision and baptism (verses 11-12) fit into the topic? What are the ordinances that were “against us”? What was nailed to the cross? Does being a “shadow of things to come” mean that the laws about food and drink, or the laws about appointed times, were done away with? Who does have a right to judge you on these matters?
By having a firm grasp on the context of verse 14, you will be prepared to give an answer to those who apply this text as their basis for judging you for your obedience to God’s laws. No matter what side of the discussion you are on, you will find this video rather interesting.

Many believe and teach that Isaiah 65:20 proves the millennium is on earth, and that people will live to be 100 years old and are given a second chance at salvation during the millennium. They claim that Isaiah’s “new heaven and new earth” cannot be the same as the “new heavens and new earth” in Revelation, because they think death and curses still exist on Isaiah’s “new earth”. But does the Bible really teach two “new earths”?
To properly understand how this actually a kingdom promise during the only (and eternal) new earth, join Tom as he demonstrates Isaiah’s “compare and contrast” writing style to plainly reveal the meaning of this text.

One of the greatest challenges for prophecy students is to put each prophecy in its proper context for its proper time. Join Tom as he looks at an example of this from Isaiah 44 and 45. This text, along with Jeremiah 25:9 that we discussed on Wednesday, shows how God called pagan rulers (Cyrus and Nebuchadnezzar) His servants. How can God use a pagan politician to further His prophecy? Does God change, or could this happen again near the end of days? Join Tom as he looks at the prophecies of Isaiah and Daniel to help us better understand the “times of the Gentiles.”
Recorded June 12, 2024 In this week’s Wednesday night study, the prophecies of Jeremiah 29, Isaiah 11, and Jeremiah 30 are studied. Learn of God’s messages of hope even in captivity, warnings against false prophets with false hopes, and promises of restoration. There are lessons in these chapters for those of us in the coming tribulation, that God will not leave us or forsake us, even unto the end of the age.
Recorded June 19, 2024 Join Tom Stapleton as he leads the Wednesday night Bible Study group. With Isaiah 24 as the launching pad, the theme of the chapter begins with the earth laid waste, the consequence of sin, a righteous remnant and a promise of the coming salvation. Parallels to Revelation, Malachi, and Zechariah were shown.
In this video, recorded June 26, 2024, Tom and the Wednesday night Bible study group delve deep into the prophetic connections between Isaiah 24 and Revelation 19, revealing how these two chapters share a unified vision of the end times.
